I can think of a few avenues for this complaint. First is EU, I’m sure they’d love to go after Google about bad security. Second is lawyers, if lawyers have lots of discovery with Gmail or litigation against Google this could impact legal cases. Search for big ongoing Google legal cases and contact the plaintiffs about this bug. Third is just emailing them but you’ll probably get better results screaming into the void, no one paying less than seven figures gets in touch with people at a major tech company

Yeah I never said it wasn’t good or didn’t work. It’s just held back from being fantastic by a bunch of stupid design decisions that from what I’ve heard are based on dev feelings instead of how the product is actually used

Sure, they have a nag screen if you don’t do their corporate update subscription, and you need to manually run a Linux command to get rid of it. You have to manually go look for the update URL to do updates in-band and configure it. After updating the upgrade will sometimes not change the UI to show the update.

By default, an Ubuntu VM will be selected with a GPU or CPU type that prevents it from booting.

It’s a million little small things but it adds up and you sigh and long for ESX just a bit more every time, because you can unfortunately really tell the design difference between enthusiasts and people who make serious IT products

All they have to do is little fixes to make things be smooth but they don’t and it’s annoying sometimes

Apparently according to the forums there are some common sense things that they should have been doing for years and are intentionally not doing.

Kinda makes sense, it technically works but you’ll think about how much less teeth pulling you had to do in ESX all the time. I know I did
